Premium Plus tier for $10 comes offline downloading. Is freemium over? Or does the free tier option just make the content feel cheap?Mid-Roll Sponsor break: “we’re going to take a quick break, and we’ll be right back”Peter (og Erin): Here's How Netflix Will Try To Keep You From Sharing The Password To Your Accountmandating that each device with a specific login be connected to the same WiFi network at least once every month.This network will be considered the primary network for every account and profile, and those that do not connect through this network will be forced to sign up for an individual account."When a device outside of your household signs in to an account or is used persistently," says the streamer's help center, "we may ask you to verify that device before it can be used to watch Netflix or switch your Netflix household."To verify a device: Netflix sends a link to the email address or phone number associated with the primary account owner, The link opens a page with a 4-digit verification code. The code needs to be entered on the device that requested it within 15 minutes. If the code expired, you will need to request a new verification code from the device. Once successful, that device can be used to watch Netflix.
